Criminal Law

Civil law governs person to person relationships.  Criminal law governs person to government relationships.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Immigration, state police, or local law enforcement officers may file criminal charges when someone violates a criminal law established by the United States, individual states, cities, or local municipalities.

The federal and state criminal codes contain rights for individuals accused of committing crimes.  We protect yours in the following legal situations:

As soon as you are accused or charged with a criminal act, remember your rights and contact our law firm.  Exercise your right to remain silent until your meet with someone from our firm.

Some crimes are felonies. Others are misdemeanors. A felony is a federal crime for which the punishment may be death or imprisonment for more than a year. A misdemeanor is a crime punishable by a fine and by a term of imprisonment not to be served in a penitentiary and not to exceed one year. Whether you have been accused of a felony or a misdemeanor, our distinguished and experienced team of attorneys make the Patrick Henry law firm the safe haven for your rights.

White-collar crime

Few things in life embarrass and frustrate more than accusations of fraud or embezzlement.  Then there are those questions about your future.  Come to the Patrick Henry law firm for comforting answers and bottom line relief.  Our own Sharon I. Theodore-Lewis can give you individual attention to guide you through your unfortunate experience.  Most important, get their advice before you volunteer any information to investigators.  Kimberly and Sharon make conversations with investigators a process that works to your advantage rather than theirs.

Drake makes our firm a premier practice of juvenile law.  These attorneys want you to know that you should learn as much about the juvenile justice process if your child gets into direct contact with the criminal justice system.  As soon as you find out about any trouble of this kind, make contact with our law firm.  And remember that we represent your child.  If you also need personal representation, we are eager to make arrangements for you, too.
